And then I have a drum…track that's just an audio track here.…So let's check it out, and then I'll talk you through the sounds.…(music playing)…So, cool! I'll show you the first sound that I have here, which is this chord part.…

(music playing) I'll open this up.…(music playing) As you can see, this is the SuitcaseMK1.…It's a Fender Rhodes model.…And basically not too much that's changed here.…I've brought down the level of the bell because I wanted this to be sort of a…mellow kind of sound,…with a little bit of tremolo effect and a little bit of overdrive.…(music playing) Other than that, there's not too much going on;…it's just a really dynamic, good-sounding instrument.…

I do have a tape-delay effect on the track, and that's providing the echo. And…you can see I have it set to a dotted 8th note here, and I also have those…echoes band-pass filtered.…So there's a low cut on it at 580 Hz, so there's no frequencies lower than that,…

Join author Brian Trifon as he shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. This course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more.

Virtual Instruments with Logic Pro will be updating on a monthly basis, eventually covering all the virtual instruments in the application. Look for the latest movies here and on the lynda.com blog.
